flame suit is on

ok, so i just purchased a 72 TLE auto fastback in really nice shape. I have never owned an auto before so my question is..will an auto handle a boost in engine displacement to 1776 or am i pushing it too much....

and if i remember they are like a semi automatic whereby you still have to change gears, is that correct?

cheers,

Type 3 is full auto so they self shift, they will handle lots of power as long as its in good condition

thanks mate....wasn't sure about the gearbox.

Yep, the auto is strong and can be made really strong. I have built a 2442 that runs through an auto and as long as a mild cam is used for a good vacuum signal, the auto responds well

They make good drag racing boxes. strong!
